SULAIMANI — Colonel Bakhtiar Hama-Salih,
the Deputy Commander of the 5th Brigade of Peshmerga Forces, said on
Tuesday (May 24) that Iraqi forces do not leave their headquarters at night at
the front lines against the Islamic State (ISIS) group.
Hama-Salih told Voice of America (VOA) that
ISIS militants come and go as they please only 50 meters from Iraqi forces
headquarters, due to the lack of night-time surveillance.
He said ISIS uses locations with dense
vegetation that are suitable for hiding and Iraqi forces fail to carry out
operations to track them.
Regarding recent ISIS attacks in Diyala and
Kirkuk governorates, Hama-Salih said the terror group took advantage of dusty
weather to attack there.
Six people were killed in two separate ISIS
attacks on Monday, one in the village of Basheer in Kirkuk and the other in the
village of Eslah in Diyala.
